T1125 SERIES USER’S MANUAL

  How can T1125 BIOS be upgraded in the DOS and Windows 

mode?

  Please refer to GIGABYTE website “How to upgrade T1125 

BIOS in the DOS and Windows mode?”

5.3  Questions And Answers

Q:

  I can feel a mild heat next to the battery pack. Is this normal? 

A:

  The  battery  will  generate  heat  during  recharging  and 

discharging. There is a protection circuit inside the Notebook to 

prevent overheating. User needs not worry. 

Q:

  My battery operation time is not as long as it should be. Why? 

A:

  The battery is heat sensitive and can only be charged to its 

maximum if the battery and its environmental temperature remain 

within 15-25°C (59-77°F). The more the temperature deviates 

from this range during recharging, the less chance there is for the 

battery to be fully charged. In order to recharge the pack to its full 

capacity, users are requested to cool down the unit by unplugging 

the AC Adapter. Wait until it is cooled down. Then plug in the AC 

Adapter to start recharging again.

Q:

  I did not use my spare battery for a few days. Even though it 

was fully recharged, there wasn’t as much power left as a newly 

charged one. Why? 

A:

  The  batteries  will  self-discharge  when  they  are  not  being 

recharged. To  make  sure  a  battery  pack  is  fully  charged, 

recharge  before  use. Always  keep  the  battery  inside  the 

Notebook  and  have  the AC  adapter  connected  whenever 

possible.

Q:

  I did not use my spare battery for months. I have a problem with 

recharging it. 

A:

  If you happen to leave your battery pack to go through an extended 

period of self-discharge, say more than three months, the battery 

voltage level will become too low and needs to be Pre-Charged (to 

bring the battery voltage level high enough) before it automatically 

(for Li-Ion only) resumes its normal Fast Charge. Pre-Charge may 

take 30 minutes. Fast Charge usually takes 2~3 hours.
